so me and my ex of six years broke it off mutually about three months ago because of mutual problems. currently, i'm still going through severe withdrawals and feel like i might have fucked up what would have been the love of my life. she's seeing someone else already so i know at this point i have to cut my losses and just move on, as tough as it is. but now i'm at a loss, i never dated before this and i'm 26 right now. i feel like the type of humor she had and loyalty as well as being the kind of idiot that i can... i don't know, share the shit i did with her, i don't know if i can find that anywhere else. she kept to herself and to the house mostly which was fine with me, though i do admit i wish she was more outgoing. i guess i'm just asking for advice. i'm trying to keep a workout regimen going and i'm doing semi decent, as well as keeping a journal to keep it logged and keep my head on, but i feel so fucking lost and depressed i don't even want to wake up when i go to sleep. guess i'm just asking for tips, and for anyone who left what might have been their best love but ended up finding better. just looking for some help and motivation, and general tips to move forward with my life. thanks /adv/
There are plenty of other women out there, move on.
Shes your ex for a reason, dont try to win her back.
Invest the time into yourself and eventually someone will notice and appreciate you for who you are.
Best way to get over someone is to get under someone else

it's tough dude. this was the girl i was planning on marrying before shit went sour. i'm at rock bottom right now and some people are saying i should be getting on with life now but i'm still almost as crushed as the first day. i'm not trying to win her back, i know it's a fools game to do so, but keeping focused on my goals is so fucking tough right now man. hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, not to mention i live in a fairly rural area. women like her are pretty fucking uncommon and they usually don't go out.

hey OP,
My situation is eerily similar to yours and i feel/felt the same things you described. I'm 24 and we started dating when I was 18 and she broke up with me 7months ago. it's hard as fuck, man, i know.
it's almost certainly been said to you -- ad nauseum -- that time heals all wounds; people said it to me as well, and it is only just very recently that i've begun to realize it's true because you start to forget. as time goes on, i find it harder to recall the time we spent and lived together, and it's even relatively difficult for me now to visualize her image. in a way it's sad, but also it helps you move on. don't look at her pictures for the time being, don't look at her social media pages etc. focus on your own personal goals and when you start to get that shitty feeling just aknowledge it and try to let it drift away. stay strong, man.
